First time on the ice!

This afternoon we took Molly to an open skate session at OSU's Ice Rink! She was excited when we arrived, was happy to have us put her skates on and happily marched out on the ice. Once she got on the ice, she was a little less sure of the whole thing! But with a some encouragement and a lot of patience, by the end she was asking for us to not hold her hands and to skate herself! Of course, she was no where near able to skate by herself, but we were excited about her enthusiasm! The skating intermission and appearance of the zamboni helped keep her excitement and interest to go out and try again, but we'll take whatever we can get. Below are some pictures and a video clip from Molly's first day on the ice. Enjoy!
